TV show quotes
(Extends hand to shake Geralt's hand) Name's Yarpen Zigrin.
(Shakes Yarpen's hand) Geralt of Rivia.
And my name is Julian Alfred Pankr-
Aye! I know. (To Geralt) You'll fetch a goodly amount for that mare if you sell now!
Charming how everyone wants go get their hands on roach these days, isn't it?
He means we won't make it out alive.
Wait, what? No one mentioned anything about impending death!
How is it that I've walked this earth for decades without coming across a witcher, and then the first one I meet, I can't get rid of?
I'd say something strange was afoot, but then again, Witchers are bound to bump into monsters eventually.
(laughing) Jaskier.
Yennifer.
The crow's feet are new.
Yeah, well, your jokes are... old.
Yennifer... do not tell me you've traveled all this way for made-up fertility cures using fresh dragon hearts?
They are not made up.
They are. And seriously, you? A mother?
Do you think I'd make a bad one?
Definitely. Yen, a child? What could you possibly want with a child?
They took my choice, I want it back. Not that I'd expect you to understand.
I didn't choose to become a Witcher. (sighing) Listen, the people who made us, they made us sterile for a lot of reasons. One of the kinder ones is because this lifestyle isn't suited to a child. What? You were going to summon chaos on kings' orders in between feeding and naps?
Do not patronize me!
I'm not, I've thought about this. Often. And I'd rather use my Child Surprise as Bruxa bait than subject it to this life!
What did you just say?
Uh... Ah, fuck!
You have a Child Surprise? Isn't that rich? You lecture me on made-up cures for having a child, meanwhile you cheat with destiny to steal one.
(Throwing sword on the ground) Well that's fuckin' shite! We missed a whole mother lode of fun!
Ask no questions and in return, I offer you these to take to the king (showing 2 teeth from a dragon)
Dragon teeth? I've never been one to look a gift cock in the beak, though this might not be enough proof to collect the reward.
Tell the king if he's not satisfied, he can expect the body of a dragon dropped upon his royal wedding. Free of charge.
And if I win the war but lose Ciri, what victory is that?
Maybe that army won't come, and if they do, maybe you'll be ready. But if you have any doubt in your mind that she's safe here, give her to me. Call it destiny, security, what larger forces at work, I don't care. I will take her, protect her, and bring her back unharmed, I promise you that.
First you try to kill me. Then you lie to me. I'm just trying to keep Cirilla safe.
Ciri is safe, with me, until the day she takes over my throne.
Listen to me.
I did listen once. Let a hedgehog into my court, it got me Pavetta dead. I won't lose Ciri too. So you and destiny can both fuck right off. Because if Nilfgaard comes, will destiny carry a banner into battle? No, we have an army, a navy, and me.
A dynasty can't survive on arrogance alone.
Says a Witcher. She needs family, you know nothing about that. Your mother cared so little, she discarded you.
And you lecture me on a mother's love, yet offer up someone else's daughter.
Queen to all of Cintra, grandmother to one. I won't orphan that girl.
What changed?
I have a granddaughter.
So protect her. What if Calanthe is wrong? What if they come and Ciri is trapped?
I fight side by side with my Queen.
You put too much faith in that woman.
Well, you weren't there. After Pavetta died, Calanthe would wake up howling in the night. The Lioness, nearly broken. Someone who's able to pull themselves out of that, they'll have my confidence till my final day.
We will fortify the keep until they arrive. That's the strategy.
A military strategy. We're mages, damn powerful ones.
Does Nilfgaard really believe they can take the whole continent?
They've been collecting soldiers, occupying territories, letting loose their beliefs like an epidemic. Istredd was telling me.
You saw Is?
I saw it first hand in Nazair. Nilfgaard take people down to their worst, then give them something to cling to. Even if it's shitty ale.
That's why we're here. Because sometimes it's not shitty ale. Sometimes it's a bed in a pigpen. You have to make a choice to fight back.
The ale won't disappoint. We should enjoy it while we can.
It's the first thing Nilfgaard will destroy.
Must you always be so fatalistic?
It's only appropriate, seeing as we might die.
All the more reason to live tonight.
Mmm, like you.
So, are you ready? To die?
Yes, I've lived two or three lifetimes already.
But you haven't been satisfied in any of them.
I've tried. But I've no legacy to leave behind. No family. It's time to accept that life has no more to give.
(Pauses before walking away) You still have so much left to give.
Ma? Come closer. I want you to look at me. How do you like my eyes? Do you know Visenna, what they do to a Witcher to improve his eyes?
Stop it.
Do you know that it doesn't always work?
Stop it, Geralt.
You don't get to use that name. Vesemir gave me that name. (Pauses) I need to know why.
No answer will give you what you want.
Three out of ten boys survive the trial. Tell me, at least, you didn't know this before you left me on his doorstep?
It's time to sleep. There's Valerian in the medicine.
You trusted destiny, rather than trying to find me yourself.
Don't ask any more questions.
Why?
The answers will only hurt us both. It's time to move on Geralt. It's time for you to find what you let go of.
You're alive.
(Weakly) Yennefer...
Sabrina needs your help. We all do. (Tissaia falls to the ground) No, no! The Northern Kingdoms are close. We can't give up. You... you saved me. I won't ever forget that.
It's your turn... to save these people, this Continent. This is your legacy.
Yennefer How? I can't!
You can! Everything you have ever felt, everything you've buried... Forget the bottle. Let your chaos explode.
People linked by destiny will always find each other.
You going to tell me what happened to you?
That's a tale requiring wine. What of you?
That's a tale requiring a wine cellar.
Those people you killed, you didn't mean to.
Sometimes, I think I'm still just a man. But mostly, I know what I really am.
I watched my entire home burn to the ground at the hands of another. My family trapped inside. You don't seem like a monster to me.
I appreciate that, my dear. Monsters are more than just horrid looks and claws and teeth. Monsters are born of deeds done. Unforgivable ones.
